Automata + Metalwork

The automata are primarily made in silver, copper and brass. I also use enamel, reclaimed tin and reclaimed or coppiced Cornish wood.

I treat the metal with patination and oxidisation techniques to achieve turquoises, rich browns, reds and blacks. I also use leaf metal applications and varnishes to seal and add lustre. The recycled tin and enamel add highlights of bright colour .

Working parts are copper, brass or wood. All finishes are interchangeable. Most automata can be made with either a metal or wooden base. I am always happy to customise pieces to your own design as I love to play around with all aspects of my work!

Jewellery

All jewellery is made in silver and has a soft and subtle finish. Some items are oxidised to add a dark contrasting colour.
